The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) South Central Ontario is reminding drivers to be prepared for significant delays on Hwy. 401, Hwy. 427, the QEW, the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway as world leaders are escorted by police into and out of the GTA from June 24-27. Drivers should stay away from the G20 Summit Traffic Zone bordered by Spadina Avenue, King Street West, Yonge Street and Lakeshore Boulevard West. The CAA suggests motorists plan alternate routes ahead of time, use public transit when possible and allow extra time. CAA members calling for roadside assistance should be prepared for longer than normal wait times. For G8/G20 updates check www3. ttc.ca or www.gotransit.com.
